That's quite an investment chart. There are obviously lots of customers for CO2.

I was watching (I think) a Nova piece on some volcano in Africa (I think --- I was paying lots of attention LOL) . CO2 came up through the earth in the valley below and killed everyone and everything.

One of the scientists lit a flare and the smoke hovered a few feet above the ground in a sheet. Beneath was the CO2, just high enough to kill several children in a schoolyard nearby. Apparently it acts very quickly as people and animals had apparently not panicked.

How people can look at that graph and not draw a few conclusions is beyond me. A very common argument one sees is that because CO2 dipped between years xx-yy and the temp didn't, there cannot be a causal relationship. Duh, one has much higher frequency components! At some point we will hit another -0.4deg high frequency down spike in temp (while CO2 continues upward) and all the scientifically challenged will be sure those wicked scientists predicting global warming were clueless. LOL!

That hockey stick chart is apparently bogus:
